Itinerary
This tour begins in Piazza di Spagna at the foot of the world renowned Spanish Steps. Your guide will meet you here and after giving you a brief history of the steps you will get a chance to admire the surrounding Quartiere Inglese (English Quarter), the beautiful neighborhood around the steps that has been the center of tourism in Rome for hundreds of years and has seen everyone from Ernest Hemingway to Kim Kardashian stroll the streets and sip coffee at cafes.
Soon, we are off to the Trevi fountain passing a few hidden treasures along the way. The fountain is possibly the most famous in the world and the modern lighting illuminating it from under the water lends the statues an almost other worldly view leaving many saying that it is actually better to visit after dark. Your guide will be sure to leave time for everyone to toss in their coins as is the tradition in Rome, and then we’re off to the Pantheon.
The Pantheon was completed in the early second century and it remains one of the most impressive archaeological achievements of all time, and remains in use as a church today
After marvelling at the Pantheon, we will walk to Piazza Navona where elegant fountains meet stately palaces offering one of the most striking views in the city. In the summertime artists can be found selling their works at night while in December it holds the Christmas night market where you can buy traditional Italian gifts and sweets.

Our group tour ended up be a private tour and we felt so lucky to have a history professor be our guide. We really learned a lot and had a great time in seeing a lot of the ironic landmarks at night, which takes for some great photos! We did this as the first night after landing in Rome, which works well as it ends at 8, then gives you time to rest and sleep afterwards. I highly recommend it!

We are so glad you enjoyed the tour with him and we hope the rest of your time in Rome is as enjoyable. We hope to see you again soon. Safe travels!
Small group tour turned out to be a private tour. Guide was also a history professor who made the layers of Rome's history come alive. Also gave us an excellent dinner recommendation ( where locals and tourists were dining).
Ciao Juliet, thank you very much for your feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed the tour with us and we hope to see you again soon!
Daniel was a fine guide, easygoing and knowledgeable. Took us to see interesting things on a very nice night. Tour was a hair under 2 hours; not sure if we were just fast and saw everything that would take 2-3 hours (as the website says).
Ciao Jack! Many thanks for your kind words. We are very glad you enjoyed the tour with Dan. He's fantastic at what he does. We will discuss the tour length with him however, thank you for letting us know about that. We hope to see you again soon in Rome. Safe travels!
Diletta was friendly, informative and fun! The very first thing I did as I enter Europe, Itially, Rome was to take this tour. She was kind, friendly and adapted the tour to me and my family. Not only giving us the assumed information of the past but also local current culture and recommendations. The two hours flew buy and we loved every second of it. Highly recommend this tour and Diletta!

Ciao Shawn! Thank you so much for your kind words. Your guide, Diletta, is awesome at what she does and has a wonderful knowledge to draw from. We are so glad you enjoyed the tour with her. We hope to see you guys again soon. Safe travels!
This was a wonderful opportunity to get acquainted with and oriented to the city of Rome. It was a very small group so it was very easy to hear the guide and ask questions. Our guide was incredibly knowledgable regarding the history, the theology, the culture and orientation of the city. He obviously had a passion for ancient history and his excitement sharing his wisdom made the tour even more enjoyable. I have read other reviews where the guide leaves without people when they are running late. This company called me 20 minutes before the tour started to check my location and ensure I had directions, which was so helpful as it was my first day in Rome after a very long overnight travel day! I was so appreciative! Absolutely wonderful and professional tour!
Thank you for the kind words Lori, we always try to give our clients a premium experience and so happy to hear that you liked the tour with Daniel!
Really great guide who was so knowledgeable and informed about Rome and its history. Had so much fun with the family.
Thank you for your kind words Jason! Glad you enjoyed the tour with Daniel. Safe travels!
